Dan relaxing on a ledge at Cilan Head, 4 kbDan Mcmanus is, according to accomplished trad master Calum Muskett, "One of the very best onsight trad climbers in the UK." The quiet Welshman has steadily been ticking off countless hard trad routes for the past decade, always going ground-up, and usually suceeding on his first try. His trad skills are "seriously impressive" said Muskett.

Never one to blow his own trumpet, after hearing that Dan was recently ripping it up in Northern Ireland (it's a popular place right now!) we thought we'd drop Dan a line and see if we can blow his trumpet for him!

Legend!
In reply to UKC News:

Dan's unrealistic optimism of his own ability extends to others too, on more than one occasion I have been made to believe that I'll definitely "be fine" on a route that is clearly far, far above my own ability - what's worse is that I believed him!!

In reply to UKC News: great piece, love reading these sort of things!

And they're not even paying you to say that anymore...

I like his modesty about describing himself in three words.

Can you still be a dark horse when you have a feature article on UKC?

He'll have to settle for Dan 'Dapple Grey Horse' Mcmanus from now on.
